I LOVE CROSS STITCHING! While I've been in Germany, I've gotten a lot done. It's great for me while watching TV, I can't JUST sit and watch Tv. I have to be doing something else too. I just finished a fraternity crest for my husband, and I'm making that into a pillow! Then I've recently found this site, and I'm gonna order one of these lovelies! Looks like a lot of work, but still a fun project:
